A Word from the President
of the Foundation Board of Directors

Dear Friends of the Foundation for Catholic Secondary Education,

On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the Foundation for Catholic Secondary Education and the approximately 1,100 students who attend Catholic Central and West Catholic high schools, welcome to our FCSE website!  This website has been designed to assist our alumni and friends in understanding the need for planned giving and how it can provide financial security for our high schools.  Please look over the materials provided here, and if you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the FCSE office at (616) 514-6069.  They will gladly assist you.

Approximately 40% of our students receive some form of financial aid in order to attend our schools.  I wish to sincerely thank you for your past financial support.  It is an invaluable resource to those members of our community who desire a strong, Catholic high school education, but find it financially challenging to attend.  The Board of Directors looks forward to working with you in the future as we build a base of financial security that will enable Catholic Central and West Catholic to provide an educational product that is of high quality and is authentically Catholic.  In doing so, we will continue our strong tradition of graduating informed, prayerful and engaged leaders for generations to come!

Sincerely,

Mark R. Scott
President, Board of Directors
Foundation for Catholic Secondary Education
